Health benefits of Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Curried Onions

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

5 lb. sweet potatoes
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 large red onions
1 3/4 tbsp. curry powder
1 1/2 c. fresh carrot juice (see Note)
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

In a very large saucepan, steam the sweet potatoes just until tender, about 12 minutes. Spread the steamed sweet potatoes in a large shallow baking dish and let cool slightly.
In a large skillet, melt the butter in the oil. Add the onions and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 4 minutes longer. Add the carrot juice and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Pour the curried onions over the sweet potatoes.
Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Bake the sweet potatoes in the upper third of the oven until hot, about 25 minutes, then serve.
Make Ahead: The sweet potatoes can be prepared through Step 2 and refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.
Notes: Fresh carrot juice is available in health food markets and some large supermarkets.
